五百: five hundred. The Japanese noun '五百 (ごひゃく)' means 'five hundred'. It is a specific number used to denote the quantity of 500. This term is often used in contexts involving counting, measurements, or quantities. For example: there are five hundred yen in this wallet「この財布には五百円があります」(このさいふにはごひゃくえんがあります). The library has five hundred books「図書館には五百冊の本があります」(としょかんにはごひゃくさつのほんがあります). It's important to note that '五百' is typically used in formal or written contexts, while in casual conversation, people might simply say '500' or use the more colloquial term '五百 (ごひゃく)'.

井戸: well. The Japanese noun '井戸 (いど)' refers to a 'well', specifically a water well dug into the ground to access groundwater. This term is commonly used in both rural and historical contexts, as wells were a primary source of water in traditional Japanese households. For example: There is a well in the garden「庭に井戸がある」(にわにいどがある). The water from the well is cold「井戸の水は冷たい」(いどのみずはつめたい). In modern times, wells are less common due to the prevalence of tap water, but the term remains relevant in discussions about traditional architecture or rural life.

お互い: each other. The Japanese noun 'お互い (おたがい)' means 'each other' or 'mutually'. It is used to describe a reciprocal relationship or action between two or more parties. This word is often used in contexts where people are doing something for or to each other. For example: We should help each other「私たちはお互いを助けるべきです」(わたしたちはおたがいをたすけるべきです). They respect each other「彼らはお互いを尊重します」(かれらはおたがいをそんちょうします). 'お互い' can also imply a sense of shared understanding or commonality, as in 'お互い様 (おたがいさま)', which means 'it's mutual' or 'we're in the same boat'.
